CAMEROON
Coach Paul LeGuen angrily refuted suggestions of pessimism over Cameroon's World Cup chances at a weekend news conference in Douala.
"This is not true and you have to stop making these allegations," he told reporters.
"I'm not pessimistic about our chances and never have been. Never. I am full of spirit, confident and I think I'm going to be working with a strong team. Stop looking for cracks that are not there."
Denmark midfielder Jakob Poulsen, who hopes to make the squad for the finals after recovering from injury, boosted his chances by playing for 30 minutes of AGF Aarhus's 1-0 defeat by Brondby at the weekend.
Poulsen, 26, who played in six qualifying matches, said: "I am not quite where I should be yet but I hope to be there over the coming days."
"I may have to take the trans-Siberian railway to visit Grenoble's Daisuke Matsui and VfL Wolfsburg's Makoto Hasebe," Okada told reporters.
"These three are not borderline players," he added, fuelling media speculation that injury-prone playmaker Shunsuke Nakamura may not make Japan's starting line-up in South Africa.
